+Host Information
+----------------
+
+This section describes the system's host information and how to configure them,
+it covers the following topics:
+
+* Host name
+* Domain
+* IP address
+* Default gateway
+* Aliases
+
+Host Name
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+A hostname is the label (name) assigned to a network device (a host) on a
+network and is used to distinguish one device from another on specific networks
+or over the internet.
+
+Set a system host name:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system host-name <hostname>
+
+.. note:: Only letters, numbers and hyphens are allowed.
+
+Show host name:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show system host-name
+
+Delete host name:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete system host-name <hostname>
+
+Example: Set system hostname to 'RT01':
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system host-name RT01
+ commit
+ show system host-name
+ host-name RT01
+
+Domain Name
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A domainname is the label (name) assigned to a computer network and is thus
+unique!
+
+Set the system's domain:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system domain-name <domain>
+
+.. note:: Only letters, numbers, hyphens and periods are allowed.
+
+Show domain:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show system domain-name
+
+Remove domain name:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system delete domain-name <domain>
+
+Example: Set system domain to example.com:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system domain-name example.com
+ commit
+ show system domain-name
+ domain-name example.com
+
+Static host mappings
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+How to assign IPs to interfaces is described in chapter
+:ref:`interfaces-addresses`. This section shows how to statically map a system
+IP to its host name for local (meaning on this VyOS instance) DNS resolution:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system static-host-mapping host-name <hostname> inet <IP address>
+
+Show static mapping:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show system static-host-mapping
+
+Example: Create a static mapping between the system's hostname `RT01` and
+IP address `10.20.30.41`:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system static-host-mapping host-name RT01 inet 10.20.30.41
+ commit
+ show system static-host-mapping
+ host-name RT01 {
+ inet 10.20.30.41
+ }
+
+Aliases
+*******
+
+One or more system aliases (static mappings) can be defined:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system static-host-mapping host-name <hostname> alias <alias>
+
+Show aliases:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show system static-mapping
+
+Delete alias:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete system static-host-mapping host-name <hostname> alias <alias>
+
+Example: Set alias `router1` for system with hostname `RT01`:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system static-host-mapping host-name RT01 alias router1
+ commit
+ show system static-host-mapping
+ host-name RT01 {
+ alias router1
+ inet 10.20.30.41
+ }
+
+Default Gateway/Route
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In the past (VyOS 1.1.8) used a gateway-address configured in the system tree
+(`set system gateway-address <IP address>`) this is no longer supported and
+existing configurations are migrated to the new CLI commands.
+
+It is replaced by inserting a static route into the routing table using:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop <gateway ip>
+
+Delete default route fomr the system
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ delete protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0
+
+Show default route:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos$ show ip route 0.0.0.0
+ Routing entry for 0.0.0.0/0
+ Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0, best
+ Last update 3d00h23m ago
+ * 172.16.34.6, via eth1

+
+Syslog
+------
+
+Per default VyOSs has minimal syslog logging enabled which is stored and
+rotated locally. Errors will be always logged to a local file, which includes
+`local7` error messages, emergency messages will be sent to the console, too.
+
+To configure syslog, you need to switch into configuration mode.
+
+Logging to serial console
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The below would log all messages to :code:`/dev/console`.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system syslog console facility all level all
+
+Use the **[tab]** function to display all facilities and levels which can
+be configured.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos# set system syslog console facility <TAB>
+ Possible completions:
+ > all All facilities excluding "mark"
+ > auth Authentication and authorization
+ > authpriv Non-system authorization
+ > cron Cron daemon
+ > daemon System daemons
+ > kern Kernel
+ > lpr Line printer spooler
+ > mail Mail subsystem
+ > mark Timestamp
+ > news USENET subsystem
+ > protocols depricated will be set to local7
+ > security depricated will be set to auth
+ > syslog Authentication and authorization
+ > user Application processes
+ > uucp UUCP subsystem
+ > local0 Local facility 0
+ > local1 Local facility 1
+ > local2 Local facility 2
+ > local3 Local facility 3
+ > local4 Local facility 4
+ > local5 Local facility 5
+ > local6 Local facility 6
+ > local7 Local facility 7
+
+ vyos@vyos# set system syslog console facility all level <TAB>
+ Possible completions:
+ emerg Emergency messages
+ alert Urgent messages
+ crit Critical messages
+ err Error messages
+ warning Warning messages
+ notice Messages for further investigation
+ info Informational messages
+ debug Debug messages
+ all Log everything
+
+
+Logging to a custom file
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Logging to a custom file, rotation size and the number of rotate files left
+on the system can be configured.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system syslog file <FILENAME> facility <FACILITY> level <LEVEL>
+ set system syslog file <FILENAME> archive file <NUMBER OF FILES>
+ set system syslog file FILENAME archive size <FILESIZE>
+
+The very same setting can be applied to the global configuration, to modify
+the defaults for the global logging.
+
+Logging to a remote host
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Logging to a remote host leaves the local logging configuration intact, it
+can be configured in parallel. You can log ro multiple hosts at the same time,
+using either TCP or UDP. The default is sending the messages via UDP.
+
+**UDP**
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system syslog host 10.1.1.1 facility all level all
+ <optional>
+ set system syslog host 10.1.1.1 facility all protocol udp
+
+
+**TCP**
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system syslog host 10.1.1.2 facility all level all
+ set system syslog host 10.1.1.2 facility all protocol tcp
+
+Logging to a local user account
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If logging to a local useraccount is configured, all defined log messages are
+display on the console if the local user is logged in, if the user is not
+logged in, no messages are being displayed.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system syslog user <LOCAL_USERNAME> facility <FACILITY> level <LEVEL>

+
+System Users
+------------
+
+VyOS supports two levels of users: admin and operator.
+
+The operator level restricts a user to operational commands and prevents
+changes to system configuration. This is useful for gathering information
+about the state of the system (dhcp leases, vpn connections, routing tables,
+etc...) and for manipulating state of the system, such as resetting
+connections, clearing counters and bringing up and taking down connection
+oriented interfaces.
+
+The admin level has all of the capabilities of the operator level, plus the
+ability to change system configuration. The admin level also enables a user
+to use the sudo command, which essentially means the user has root access to
+the system.
+
+Creating Login User Accounts
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Create user account `jsmith`, with `admin` level access and the password
+`mypassword`
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set system login user jsmith full-name "Johan Smith"
+ set system login user jsmith authentication plaintext-password mypassword
+ set system login user jsmith level admin
+
+The command:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ show system login
+
+will show the contents of :code:`system login` configuration node:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ user jsmith {
+ authentication {
+ encrypted-password $6$0OQHjuQ8M$AYXVn7jufdfqPrSk4/XXsDBw99JBtNsETkQKDgVLptXogHA2bU9BWlvViOFPBoFxIi.iqjqrvsQdQ./cfiiPT.
+ plaintext-password ""
+ }
+ full-name "Johan Smith"
+ level admin
+ }
+
+SSH Access using Shared Public Keys
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following command will load the public key `dev.pub` for user `jsmith`
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ loadkey jsmith dev.pub
+
+.. note:: This requires uploading the `dev.pub` public key to the VyOS router
+ first. As an alternative you can also load the SSH public key directly
+ from a remote system:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ loadkey jsmith scp://devuser@dev001.vyos.net/home/devuser/.ssh/dev.pub \ No newline at end of file
